EPA Whitepaper on Solar Landfill Development

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the overall environmental
benefit of siting renewable energy projects on contaminated properties. Through
the RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative, EPA is encouraging renewable energy
development on current and formerly contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites
when such development is aligned with the community’s vision for the site.

12.9 MW - Largest Superfund Landfill Solar System in USA

The 12.9 MW GameChange Pour-In-Place™ System is one of the largest landfill projects in the United States. The system installed quickly onto a challenging landfill with several difficult sloping areas. Stringent requirements were followed during the installation to make sure all local, state and other regulations were followed.

This 12.9 MW Solar Project was built in record time on a landfill in New Jersey and powers 40,000 homes nearby.

6.5 MW - Three Closed Solid Waste Landfills in Western MA

These western Massachusetts landfills require very stringent design guidelines to be followed. The landfill cap was not allowed to be disturbed and all vegetation had to be left in place to required height for storm water management reasons. The sites were completed in only two months through difficult fall and winter conditions

All three sites were built on top of closed solid waste landfills, creating valuable re-use of otherwise useless land

2.5 MW - Largest Landfill Solar System in New York State

"We selected GameChange’s Pour-In-Place™ Ballasted Ground System for its superior quality, value, and speed and ease of installation. It was a pleasure working with their team.” - Charles Feit
CEO, OnForce Solar

This site is the largest solar PV installation on a landfill in NY. The install process is straightforward and quick – twelve men installed 2.5MW of racking and forms in under one week. Bobcats with pouring buckets filled the forms, then modules were mounted

1.2 MW - Superfund Site in New York

"Working on a landfill requires that you pay careful attention to any equipment that will contact the existing ground surface, so that the environmental integrity of the site can be maintained. Working with GameChange Solar allowed us to design this installation cost effectively to ensure that our project resulted in an overall environmental gain in the town of Patterson." - Paul Curran
Managing Director, BQ Energy

This site is on a 10 acre closed municipal landfill in Putnam County NY

We have built a superior engineering team, leveraged our legacy skillset in solar system installation, design and metal fabrication, and developed the best designed racking systems in the industry

At GameChange Solar we're changing the world by making solar energy affordable
